in the streets the protests across the country in the coming weeks. according to activist yasser ismail the violence in the country is partly the result of mubarak's security apparatus still being in place. it is very unfortunate. he was repeating the mistake over. the mubarak of egypt easy to see that it i believe he was it's the people that run the country to see the action and that's very unfortunate for the good outcome of our it was very very clear and i don't think you have a second term to look forward for which is kind of this practice continuing on the street and the brutality and the lack of security the unemployment it has to meet a new generation of problems really for forcing his agenda on the people. there was nothing changing the reality that people are working and training under mubarak for thirty years they are running from there is the in the books the grandest day for

the rules the only way to not be their top echelon of the police is still there and running the country with the seat that big the learn. the dealership of mubarak and they don't know how to do it differently and always check our teens twitter feed for the latest on what's happening in cairo belt through his report we saw earlier his posting her own updates as well you can check them all out. russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov met with the leader of syria's major opposition party in these first direct talks with the leader of the syrian national coalition were held in private on the sidelines of the munich security conference both sides agreed there's a mountain to climb before the negotiations between the rebels and the government could become a reality artie's peter all over has the details. this is the biggest security conference really in the world and arguably syria is one of the biggest security issues in the world right now sergey lavrov sundown for me seeing more as our who's

the leader of the syrian national coalition the foreign minister of russia coming away seemingly quite happy from the meeting he said upon his arrival back in moscow that swell. the syrian national coalition seem to willing to speak with the kurds syrian government citing the fact that the whole reason that the national coalition exists in the first place is because they had previously refused to talk to president assad however sergey lavrov did err on the side of caution saying that there was no guarantees that this dialogue would take place bringing up the point that the coalition is so fundamentally we can hardly really agree with themselves never mind sit down to open the gates the ations with the current syrian government syria featured very highly in the address that was given by sergey lavrov to the the security conference he also told directly to russia's western partners as called for unity and trying to bring in an end to the violence and bring discussion

to the forefront rather than talk of international intervention he did however raise a few questions towards russia's western partners suggesting that was it worth while pursuing their mantra of regime change in countries like syria at the expense of terrorist acts being cast a blind eye to as those acts take place against the civilian population and the the syrian army we also saw around two thousand people gather elsewhere in munich in protest against what they say is they just continuing growth across europe that was relatively peaceful but it was also a topic that had been touched on by surrogate laughed it off in his address where he said that there was no real need. to expand in the way that it was in those two thousand or so people in the city also voicing the similar opinion. back to a party from university of roehampton thinks the syrian opposition has turned to diplomacy because it's been exhausted from fighting president assad's forces. at

the rebel coalition is deeply divided in itself and it has tried really hard. to. degrade its own terms with support of the united states in the syrian opposition coalition as insistent on not having talks with the russians but it has reached a point where it is tired frustrated and knows that it is very difficult to dislodge the assad regime it is something of a diplomatic victory in my view for the russians who have been at least publicly consistently. pressing for docs and so far the russian the russian requests for a diplomacy have been rebuffed. human rights activists

have accused the french back mali an army of committing ethnic reprisal or ethnic reprisal attacks extradition killings and torture the outcries reached the un with its anti government envoy saying he was deeply disturbed by the reports meanwhile france's president alon is on a visit to mali where his forces are fighting islam as militants he now is that the campaign won't be a long term deployment an operations are likely to end in the coming weeks that in paris will rewards according to farrow's manji from the council for the development of social science research africa. get this intervention does it strengthen the arm of a group of junior officers who took control of the state and who just simply. yes i mean the reports we get from mali from boma code is holies troops just simply control everything i'm not interested in any kind of development they're only interested in acquiring wealth for themselves they go in they rock banks complete

impunity they control the economy now and we've completely punitive they are now the sort of. i guess you know servants now. oh of the french in the us but their real agenda has been to set up the league to to the stranger to the cool prey she's miley's a place with enormous amount of of all wealth so if you're a new book site gold and so on and there's no doubt that french canadian and upper interests are clearly interested in occupying that territory curd violation another debt in the oil embargo against iran adding to washington headaches. especially when the transgressor is the pentagon and the illegal fuel purchases are

paid for with taxpayer dollars more on that sanction busting later in the program. but first relations between romania and the u.k. haven't been particularly warm this week bucharest expressed concerns over london's plans to extend the restrictions on romanians looking to work in britain this after london's attempt to scare off potential migrants with ads highlighting the drawbacks of living there are reports on why the u.k. officials sought to sully their own country's reputation. as one official put it the negative ad campaign about britain would help to dispel the myth that the streets in the u.k. all paved with gold and the politicians certainly are worried and they've got it wrong in the past the previous year was the year of the olympics and politicians trump and trumpeting great britain and how long john in britain is the best destination the world billions of pounds poured into advertising to really sell the

u.k. but it seems that for immigrants potential immigrants from rumania and from bol garia the message is that britain isn't so great after all so a lot of people used to use that sort of as quite far cicle the fact that the government is willing to trash its own image and to admit that there are problems with the economy in disarray that there's a housing crisis and that there are problems with schools and hospitals everyone's been having a good old chuckle over the idea of a negative ad campaign and yes some people have actually said that it's quite insulting but remain ians them for vogue ariens but one newspaper has even suggested that people send in their own suggestions for what an anti britain poster would look like and the result has been really quite scathing and quite harsh to britain as a country we've got slogans that include u.k. yuck and come to britain and clean the toilets or even britain we haven't left ourselves because the public transport isn't running so people very sort of mocking

at the same time but quite scathing about the country westminster is bound by law so they have to follow these rules and they have to allow anybody who wishes to come over in twenty fourteen to enter the country but a lot of citizens in the u.k. feel that it's insulting to those people and a waste of money having advertised britain previously. or remain in newspapers hit back with a series of ads why romania is so much better than the u.k. among the qualities that appear on the list are beautiful women that look like kate middleton and cheap booze head over to our t. dot com and maybe you too could be persuaded to go to romania. a turkish radical group claiming responsibility for the suicide attack at the u.s. embassy in ankara we have more on that story after the break an expert opinion ally turkey is now becoming a new target for terror stay with us. here

the reindeer is interesting for the herders. and when it's not for. people to help. the distances are. well the remedy.

thanks for staying with us here on r t fifteen minutes past the hour now u.s. forces in afghanistan may have been running on iranian oil and a clear violation of washington's old fionn fuel embargo against the islamic state the pentagon's admitted it can't envelop for the source of a year's worth of fuel due to a complicated supply system artie's guided she has more from washington. the u.s. gives money to the afghan government to buy fuel for its forces now u.s. officials especially specter general for afghanistan reconstruction say they cannot

verify that the fuel purchased for afghan security forces in recent years did not come from iran it could be their way of saying that it probably did come from the wrong and it could mean that the u.s. has violated its own sanctions by letting us taxpayer dollars go to remain coffers those sanctions that the u.s. has put in place not only bar u.s. companies from doing business with iran but also punish third party countries for doing business with iran but no matter how many rounds of sanctions are in effect they were never watertight even though the european union under a lot of pressure from washington stopped buying uranium oil you have a host of other countries that still do iran's biggest buyer now biggest buyers now are china india and japan and these countries are oil thirsty especially china so china up its imports of uranium oil india's imports of iranian crude were up thirty percent according to tanker arrival data western sanctions have it rains

oil exports in two thousand and twelve leading to a very deep plunge in the arabian currency but continuous robust demand from its top buyers as well as the purchase of new tankers allow the red to unexpectedly boost exports late last year despite the sanctions the u.s. can't absolutely force those major economies especially china to stop buying from iran political and economic ramifications of such pressure would be significant but the u.s. government is trying their prompting those other countries to buy oil from washington's allies saudis and qataris so you could imagine how happy the gulf states are about this whole new business coming in but washington is resolute to put more pressure on other countries to put forward more threats like cutting them off from the u.s. banking system so to many countries the situation starts to look more like blackmail than anything else. sanctions violations rhetoric surrounding iran all

proving great creative fuel for our website cartoonists ahmadinejad and other themes online at r.t. dot com in a special comic section check it out. an extreme leftist group has claimed responsibility for the suicide attack on the us embassy in turkey's capital the group condemns u.s. foreign policy and its influence on turkish internal politics and security guard was killed when a bomber detonated his explosives at the mission's entrance friday lawrence freeman from the executive intelligence review magazine explains why turkey has become a target for radicals. it's obvious right now that there's a whole escalation you know tire region going from north africa into the middle east and president. obama administration. british in these areas has obviously inflamed. the insurgents to the point that they are now targeting these western powers however the united states and the british

and the french are also supporting tens of thousands of jihadi treatments in syria and in other parts of the region so you have well armed well compared trained terrorists on the border originally with turkey and syria probably now inside turkey so i think this is very bad news is obviously great opposition inside turkey and i think the the president other prime minister he's behaving foolish to are actually have this close working relationship with the west and he's actually undermining his own country and his i'm security. turning now to some other stories making headlines across the globe funeral services have been held for soldiers killed in saturday's attack on an army post in northwest pakistan the taliban assault with a total of thirty five yet including twelve attackers ten civilians and thirteen members of the armed forces were all mung those killed a spokesman for the group said it was retaliation for a u.s.

drone strike on two taliban commanders last month is just a day after a suicide bombing outside a shia mosque claimed the lives of twenty four people. on . eight people have been arrested when the israeli military broke up a palestinian camp in the west bank camp were set up to protest against the expansion of israeli settlements into the area the army fired tear gas and stun grenades to disperse the activists. is one of the bloodiest battles in human history a turning point in the second world war seventy years ago the soviet union snatched victory and stalin grabbed defeating the nazi war machine there are these tom barton follow the commemoration events. the great in modern day volgograd to mark the end of that terrible battle seventy years ago with a parade by troops the laying of wreaths from various delegations i'm the assembled

crowds here remembering all those people that died there as many as two million were told in this say there's also a little bit of control to see surrounding the name stalin graph the city's now full bowl garage. but the city administration say that they want on certain special days to once again refer to it by its old name stalingrad which is a controversial decision given its connection to that controversial figure stalin himself but as for this parade today this commemorative events it will ever have the connection to would stalin grat not with this place but with what happened to him. seventy years ago the nazi war machine failed at stalingrad. here a reconstruction of the german surrender and dre is playing the part of friedrich polis promoted the day before to field marshal by hitler in

a bid to stop him capitulating bowles when paul is realized that hitler wanted him to commit suicide he said he wouldn't give him such pleasure and he chose to live with the nazi germany this military disaster was the moment hitler's hubris really caught up with him for the soviet union it was at last a decisive victory over the invaders the ravaged so much of their country this basement of stalingrad the largest department store had become palaces last headquarters soviet officers entered to find it packed with wounded starving and freezing german soldiers this is what had become of what had started out as the largest army the world had ever seen. the vermont six army had surged up to the city in the summer of one nine hundred forty two hitler wanted to clear the way to the oil of the caucasus but stalin grad but first a sideshow became an object of obsession for both him and stalin fueled the fort

for his very life battling house to house as the germans and their allies took ninety percent of the city took the question but i'm telling read it was how the ball there was a river of fire and when we went to get water from it it was water and blood mixed . in the vendor soviet commander of sprung a huge trap cutting german forces off from their supply lines surrounding them inside the frozen city by the end of january it was all but over the city was a ruin only the few biggest buildings remained standing. she was bogus but you know i'm still harbor far people it was very important because finally we stopped retreating offices the general started to learn how to win a stunning grant as many as two million people died in the battle their bodies still being discovered today but although the red army of the soviet people didn't

know it yet they had reached a turning point in the bloodiest war in human history tom watson. the solemn ceremony commemorating the victory of stalingrad ended with a magnificent fireworks display can find the photos of the event on our website there we have a section dedicated to the second world war including historical articles biographies on the personal accounts of those who witnessed the horror of the battle itself. a jerusalem football squad whose fans are known for racist anti arab chances signed to muslims to the team for the first time but supporters are openly disappointed at the move which some say is like welcoming the enemy or his policy or reports on the boiling anger that's never far from spilling over. the games in there but the actions out here the israeli football team they told us of them is making headlines

not for what it does on the pitch but what it does oafish the only leading team in the country never to find an arab player because of family pressure h.r. is a bastion of israel's political right if i am none other than the don't love that in the me will be a player in my team or you could see a. chance like this we hate all arabs only the top of the race is croquet no it doesn't happen often but tonight's matches between detente jerusalem and a local israeli arab team the police are not taking any chances which is why these gates are for the jewish fans and the other side of the stadium is for the palestinian supporters now the match has just finished and as you see the bay tajiri some supporters are walking out behind me but it will be and not an hour and a half before the police give permission to the arab fans to leave the stadium but keeping the two sides apart does little to dispel the hatred in march last year

hundreds of fans rampaged through jerusalem off to a game chanting death to the arabs and randomly attacking arabs work has wandered out of the trying to say that there are just a few rhesus five to twenty people but that's not right racism is in the d.n.a. of the steam it's in their blood. referred to is a football legend in israel he was the first arab to play for israel national team and to represent the country at the olympic games. i remember playing against the steam their supporters cursed me because i'm an arab muslim if this is not racism what is that problem is about to get a whole lot bigger team owner russian israeli tycoon at a coyote guide imac recently announced his decision to hire two muslim players from chechnya. it's no good they're doing it for nothing these players from chechnya aren't with the jewish people they're not with the team we have different values.

while other countries have faced international sanctions for racist incitement by fans israel has so far avoided such code scrutiny but fears are growing that the beautiful game there is slowly being turned into a source of violence racism and hatred. next to a look at life for some of the people living in the coldest regions on earth stay with us here on r.t. . you know i can kind of sort of understand the mindset of an evil dictator i have trouble understanding what is going on or maybe not going on in the minds of the terrified cogs who believe all the propaganda give up all their rights for the

illusion of safety to coach jerry seinfeld who are these people well maybe some of them may be working at your local school braindead bureaucracy zombies at a pennsylvania school suspended a kindergartner note kindergartner as a terrorist threat because she threatened to shoot another student with a gun that shoots soap bubbles i guess this was all a mix up because the girl she wanted to shoot didn't understand that it was in reference to bubbles and not bullets children in kindergarten can often misunderstand things but the administration of the school seems to be no smarter than six year olds immediately going into total panic mode guess what this is hardly the first time that something like this has happened remember that kid who pointed a piece of chicken at a teacher and said bang the thing is that the real terrorism of the event is that the mental slaves of fear propaganda that work at these schools are raising a generation of children to be just like them somebody shoot me with a bubble gun that's just my opinion.
